Overflowing trash containers became the source of complaints in Salem, Perry Township and other communities in recent weeks.
SALEM — In the future, trash haulers in Salem could be restricted to daylight pickup hours and required to tell customers about pickup date changes to prevent trash being on curbs for weeks on end.
At least that’s what members of city council’s Rules and Ordinances Committee discussed Tuesday night as a means to address recent trash complaints.
No action was taken, with Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey, who chairs the committee, suggesting further research and talking to trash haulers and other communities about their rules.
